OUR cIrY,s CHRISTMAS TRADE.


 Our City Trade appears to be booming and blooming All the forecasts of the coming festive season are presented with taste and we may add temptatlon~ The store windows are decorated with more than the usual elaboration of Christmas tide, and we are pleased to add that there is already an amount of patronage to fill the coffers and gladden. the hearts of our enterprising store keepers. Of course the DEMOCRAT advertisers stand easily first ln the matter of decorative display. Wegive this evening another installment of the DEMOCRAT Business Directory:
 THE ROGERS & HAMILTON co,
 Manufacturers of Silver Plated Ware, have no retail show place in the city, on their own account, for display of holiday attrac- tions: but then this want is compensated for by the fact that every house in the trade is an agency in that direction You cannot enter any store in the line ln which the goods of this large firm do not hold prominent place, and command apprecla- tive admiration.
 GREENMAN AVG COMPANY Will be found at 75 Bank street, we'll sup piled with the absolute necessaries of the season. People may dispense with the or dinary Christmas gifts of ornament and use-for personal decoration or sentimen- tai regards-but look out at your windows just now, with snow on the ground or frost in the air, or perhaps rain-storm giving intensity to winter discomforts, and say what your world of home would be without the heat appliances of coal, wood and charcoal Greenman & Co can supply these aids to home comforts at the most moderate prices of the market.
 SPENCER & PIERPoNT's
 Cash Grocery and Meat Market at 142 and 146 East Main street, is another of the es- tablishments in which substantial supplies for Christmas enjoyments are presented, instead of the sentimental stock-in-t trade making up the attractions of gift and toy stores. Choice Groceries, Fresh and Cured Meats, Poultry with most of the accom- paniments and accessories of the dining table ale here in abundance and at popular prices. There is here too, as we'll as at the coal merchants, opportunity given fol Christmas presentation. A joint of nut

 excess of your own order, sent to that pool family that you know of, would be a gift tt
 give comfort.
 THE GREAT A. & F. TEA COMPANY, At 19 East Main street, present another O those special attractions for the Christina time, not dependent on the attributes o souvenirs of the season, but on thos things which give zest in the furnishing
